When any investment is made pursuant to approval of the court as required by section 636.23 or made or held by and with the consent of the court as provided in section 636.25, such investment shall not be transferred and any security taken to secure such investment shall not be discharged or impaired prior to payment or satisfaction thereof without an order of the court to that effect, unless otherwise authorized by the will, trust agreement, or other document under which the fiduciary is acting.
